How To Grow Organic Apples

Apples may seem like the last bastion of pesticide-dependent gardening. In many commercial orchards, apples are sprayed 10 to 20 times per year.

It’s not hard to find organic home gardeners who still believe it’s nearly impossible to grow good fruit without pesticides.

Furthermore, most people probably expect organic fruit to come with a few spots or chew marks. I used to rely on insect traps and biological sprays, and I would still have fruit that was covered with disease and infested with worms.

Then I found a way to grow pristine apples without using any kind of spray.
